Chapter 35 Chapter Thirty-Five: Murder
When the spring was about to pass, the news of Hulu Changyi's happiness spread from the Changshan Prince's Mansion, and everyone went to congratulate him again. The emperor also rewarded many precious gifts, and the favor was even better than before.On the other hand, Gao Zhan, the king of Changguang, although he has great power and position, everyone knows that he has a cold temper, so even if he wants to curry favor, he dare not rush to the door.
In Yecheng, the only person who can drive straight into Changguang Palace without being notified is Gao Zhan's nephew, Lanling King Gao Changgong.
"Xiao Yan, show brother quickly, have you gained weight?" Chang Gong, as usual, immediately picked up Gao Yan as soon as he arrived at the palace, and kept teasing him.For some reason, she felt an indescribable closeness between this child and her.
"You just met him a few days ago, how can you tell he is fat or thin?" Gao Zhan shook his head funny.
"Of course I can see it." Chang Gong giggled, and said again, "By the way, Uncle Jiu, Chang Yi is also happy. It seems that she and Baibai should have a good relationship."
Gao Zhan smiled, "Silly boy, even if they have no feelings, they will have children."
"If it were me, I wouldn't marry someone I don't like." Chang Gong blurted out suddenly.
Gao Zhan's smile narrowed slightly, "Is there anyone Chang Gong likes?"
Chang Gong was taken aback, and immediately laughed again, "Of course I do. I like eldest brother, third brother, aunt, Aqiu, and many, many people..." Seeing a trace of disappointment flashed across Gao Zhan's eyes, he blinked again. She blinked and said, "Of course, my favorite is Uncle Nine!"
Gao Zhan laughed softly, "Just joke with me, can you marry these people, silly boy."
Chang Gong pinched Gao Yan's little nose, and said, "Uncle Jiu, actually I don't want to get married, so it's not bad. Heng Jia is two years older than me and hasn't gotten married yet."
When Gao Zhan heard the name Heng Jia, he moved his mouth, "Chang Gong, what do you think of Heng Jia?"
Chang Gong thought for a while, then smiled, "He is a very smart guy, selfish and cowardly, but..." She suddenly remembered that snowy night, the pot of hot water that warmed people's hearts, and her face couldn't help showing a smile. A little gentle, "However, he is also considered a good person."
Gao Zhan looked at the smile on the corner of her mouth, and tightly held the cup in his hand. A faint mist lingered from the cup, making him feel a little blurry in front of his eyes, as if he couldn't see her face clearly.
"Uncle Ninth!" Xiao Yu's voice suddenly came from not far away, and he was hurriedly walking in this direction, with a look of panic on his normally calm face.
"Brother, what's the matter?" Chang Gong returned Xiao Yan to the maid, and asked anxiously as he got up.
Xiao Yu didn't answer her, but went straight to Gao Zhan, and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Nine, I heard the news from the palace just now, Yang Min went to play the emperor, and asked the emperor to make you the chief minister and the governor of Bingzhou. King Changshan is the Taishi and Lushang Shushi. The emperor has approved the performance, Uncle Jiu, after the imperial decree, you will leave Yecheng and go to Bingzhou to take up the post!"
Chang Gong only felt a buzzing sound in her head, and sat back on the stone bench with a plop, subconsciously grasping the skirt of her clothes, the pain from her left chest made her movements slow.
Almost, I can't breathe.
"This is also expected. Yang Min and the others have long wanted to drive us out of Yecheng." Gao Zhan was not surprised, and took a sip of tea leisurely, "The governor of Bingzhou is also a good job."
Chang Gong suddenly stood up again, "Uncle Jiu, I'm going to the palace to see the emperor!"
"Chang Gong, don't be impulsive," Gao Zhan grabbed her sleeves, "The emperor's order is hard to break, and Bingzhou is not very far from here..."
"Uncle Jiu, I don't want you to go." Chang Gong bit his lips, trying not to let his tears fall, thinking of Uncle Jiu leaving her, thinking of not seeing him again, thinking of not hearing his voice again, as long as If you think about it a little bit, you will feel sad, and you will feel that something is piercing yourself in your chest like an ice pick.
"Silly boy..." Gao Zhan's eyes flashed a trace of unbearable, as if he wanted to say something, but he suppressed himself again, and resumed his indifferent tone, "Okay, you go back first, me and your elder brother, and some It's something to discuss."
"Uncle Nine..."
"Go back first."
Chang Gong stood there blankly for a while, then finally turned around and walked out.
Seeing Chang Gong's back disappearing at the door, Xiao Yu asked, "Uncle Jiu, you already have a plan, don't you?"
Gao Zhan smiled coldly, "This edict came at the right time."
Xiao Yu lowered her eyelids, "Uncle Jiu, why didn't you tell Chang Gong?"
"Xiaoyu, have you forgotten? Changgong, he is not the same kind of person as us." Gao Zhan's eyes were full of helplessness, "So, it is better not to let him know about some things."
Xiao Yu didn't speak, but after a while, he asked again, "Uncle Jiu, when are you and Uncle Six going to do it?"
Gao Zhan gave him a meaningful look, "Of course I'm waiting for the imperial edict from the emperor."
"Uncle Jiu..." Xiao Yu hesitated to speak, hesitated for a while, and said, "You have been waiting for that position for long enough."
"I've been waiting for so long, it doesn't matter if I wait a while longer." Gao Zhan showed an unfathomable look.
The two stopped talking and looked at the bright moon in the sky quietly.
In the glazed night, the moonlight is blurred.
Chang Gong went out in a daze, feeling his mind was blank, he just walked aimlessly for a long time, and when he looked up, he realized that he had actually reached the door of Hulu Mansion. She herself was taken aback, how could she come here inexplicably, you know, these days she has been taking a detour, for fear of being questioned by Hu Luguang about Hengjia's seventeen or eighteen concubines. Just as he turned around, he suddenly heard a voice behind him, "Why do you just leave when you come?" She turned her head and saw Heng Jia was crossing the threshold with a smile on her face. Chang Gong thought for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand to pull him up and left, "If you are a brother, go and have a drink with me!" "Where to drink?" Heng Jia was also a little confused. "Flow-flower-garden!" Of course Liuhuayuan did not go, the reason is very simple, Chang Gong didn't bring much money with him, and Heng Jia simply didn't bring any money.These two adults, one is a majestic prince and the other is Zhong Shuling with a prosperous official career, they can only drink a few bowls of water and wine in the tavern. Chang Gong also added another evaluation to Heng Jia, a stingy fox. After she sat down in the tavern, she didn't speak. She drank a large bowl of water and wine first. When she wanted to drink the second bowl, Heng Jia snatched it. "Chang Gong, it's not that you don't know how much you can drink. I won't take you home when you get drunk later." Chang Gong was taken aback, then suddenly murmured, "Uncle Jiu is leaving Yecheng." Heng Jia just smiled slightly, took a sip of wine, and said slowly, "Don't worry, your ninth uncle will definitely not be able to leave." Chang Gong was taken aback, "What?" Heng Jia's black eyes flashed with unfathomable light, and he repeated, "He must not be able to leave." Half a month later, the emperor's imperial decree came down as expected.After receiving the decree, King Changshan and King Changguang did not complain at all, and immediately packed up their things and prepared to go on the road. However, before they set off, the two princes held a banquet in Shangshu Province to mark their farewell.Having received invitations from the two princes, Yang Min and the others also planned to go to the banquet together.Only Zheng Zimo stopped them and said, "It's hard to say, you can't act hastily." Yang Min was noncommittal, "As important ministers, how could we not attend the banquet for King Changshan to take office? Even if it is dangerous, it may not be a lifetime if we don't go." After hearing what he said, Zheng Zimo had nothing to say, so he had to follow them to Shangshu Province for a banquet. At the banquet, the atmosphere of the guests and the host was harmonious, and there was nothing abnormal, but Changguang Wang Gaozhan changed his previous coldness and made a drinking order with the nobles and ministers for the first time.Yang Min and the others also gradually relaxed their vigilance in this relaxed atmosphere.After thirty days of drinking, it happened to be Yang Min's turn to carry out the drinking order. Gao Zhan stood up, walked in front of Yang Min himself, poured two cups, and said with a smile, "Prime Minister Yang, you are an honorary relative of the two dynasties, and you have made meritorious service to the country, so you should have a cup of respect." Yang Min quickly stood up, took the wine glass and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a horrifying murderous look in Gao Zhan's eyes, and knew something was wrong, sure enough, he heard Gao Zhan suddenly say, "Catch the wine, catch the wine!" Wine, why don't you catch it?" As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of burly men suddenly rushed in from behind Lu Shangshu's back room, grabbed Yang Min like tigers and wolves, and the others saw that something was wrong, and it was too late to leave Some were dragged back as soon as they arrived at the door, and Yang Min's party was caught. Yang Min was beaten several times with sticks, bleeding profusely. He struggled a few times and shouted sharply: "You princes are planning to plot rebellion and kill loyal ministers? Respecting the Son of Heaven, weakening the feudal lords, all sincerity is for the country , it shouldn't be like this!" Gao Yan was already a little guilty, but he was touched by what he said, and he hesitated, wanting to let them go. "Sixth brother, absolutely not." Seeing his hesitation, Gao Zhan quickly stopped him, "Let them go now, there will be endless troubles." Gao Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. At this time, Shangshu Province was in chaos, and the two princes led Yang Min and others straight into the palace. The soldiers inside and outside the palace had already obeyed the orders of the two princes, so the group of people were able to drive straight into the place where the emperor Gao Yin was. Zhaoyang Hall. When Gao Yin saw this posture, he immediately understood what happened, but he kept a calm face and asked, "Princes, why are you here so late?" At this moment, the Empress Dowager also came to Zhaoyang Palace, and things became a little delicate. When Gao Yan saw his mother coming, he became more courageous, so according to the method taught by Gao Zhan, he picked up a stone brick and smashed it on his forehead, and blood flowed down immediately. The empress dowager was very distressed. He hurried forward to help this most beloved son. Gao Yan pushed her hand away, took a few steps forward, knelt down in front of Gao Yin, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty and I are flesh and blood, but Yang Min and others want to monopolize the power of the court. For the benefit of oneself. The princes and ministers on the left and right are all hesitant because of fear. They used to be close to each other, but now they are used as an aid to rebellion. If this matter is not resolved early, it will definitely become a hazard to the ancestral temple. Minister and Gao Zhan and the others put state affairs first, and today they arrested Yang Min and others and entered the palace, and they dared not execute or kill them, but the fault of arbitrariness deserves ten thousand deaths." Gao Yin looked at him quietly without saying anything. The Empress Dowager felt sorry for her son, and quickly persuaded, "Your Majesty, King Changshan has no rebellious thoughts at all, he was just forced to do so." Gao Yin still didn't speak, but Gao Yan kowtowed several times after seeing this. The empress dowager's face became stiff, and finally she couldn't help but yelled at the emperor, "Why don't you comfort your uncle? Do you want your uncle to be crushed to death in front of you to be reconciled?" Gao Yin knew in his heart that he was far away, and that Uncle Six was just putting on a play, thinking of this, he suddenly smiled, "Uncle, even if you want my position as Son of Heaven, I won't be reluctant, What about those Han ministers? I only hope that you can spare my nephew's life. I will leave this Zhaoyang Palace by myself, and you can handle things here as you please." After all, he just walked out with a shake of his hand. Gao Yan didn't expect the little emperor to be so straightforward, looked at Gao Zhan who had been watching coldly, and said in a low voice, "Ninth brother, what should we do next?" Gao Zhan smiled like a cold moon, "Then do as the emperor said. The emperor just issued an order to kill Yang Min and others." Gao Yan was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood that it was the ninth younger brother who asked him to kill Yang Min and the others in the name of Gao Yin. "Besides, the next thing is up to the Empress Dowager." Gao Zhan looked at her meaningfully. The Empress Dowager showed a complicated look, "One of you is my own son, and the other is my own grandson, and the palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh. Now that this is the end, in this world, let Chang Shan Wang sit. But," she worried He glanced at the direction where Gao Yin left, "You must not hurt his life." "Queen, he is my own nephew, how could I hurt his life." Gao Yan quickly replied. The empress dowager looked tired, "Remember what you said, if you hurt his life, I will never forgive you." Two months later, the Empress Dowager abolished Gao Yin, who had only been on the throne for less than a year, as the King of Jinan, enjoying the salary of a county, and let the Prime Minister Changshan Wang Gaoyan take the throne.Gao Yan announced his succession in the Xuande Hall of Jinyang, amnesty to change the Yuan Dynasty, and Gao Yin moved to another palace.Gao Yan reappointed the empress dowager as empress dowager, and the original empress dowager as empress Wenxuan. Fortunately, after Gao Yan came to the throne, he was also a wise emperor. He was in charge of state affairs, and his politics was clear.After ascending the throne, Gao Yan lived in Jinyang for a long time, and Gao Zhan, the king of Changguang, guarded Yecheng. After everything calmed down, spring finally passed, and the leaves at the top of the branches in the Gaofu courtyard seemed to have been dyed again, giving off a strong dark green atmosphere.Amidst the sound of cicadas one after another, summer is gradually approaching with a humid and hot color... There have been several heavy rains in the past few days, and the breeze is blowing, blowing the lotus leaves in the pool like a cover. In the green, there are occasionally a few A pink bud is looming.The frog croaked once or twice, jumping from one lotus leaf to another, very lively.
At this time, Chang Gong was lying on the boat by the lake, with his hands folded behind his head, watching the clouds in the sky change into different shapes, and his mood also kept ups and downs.From the moment she learned about the mutiny at the dinner party, she knew that Uncle Jiu had a plan. It's just that she didn't expect that this matter was more serious than she imagined. If she guessed correctly, Uncle Six and Uncle Nine would have already planned to rebel. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little inexplicably irritated, so she pulled a lotus leaf down to cover her face, and the fragrance of the lotus leaf entered her nose, which made her feel a little better. Just when she was about to fall asleep in a daze, she heard a "bang!", and a small stone bounced impartially onto her hand. She tore off the lotus leaf on her face, and glared angrily at the person who dared to provoke her! I saw a young man with a smile at the corner of his mouth standing under the large green willow sash. He was dressed in light yellow clothes, making him look as pale as a chrysanthemum. "Heng Jia, why are you here?" Chang Gong blurted out, she seemed to go to Hulu Mansion more often, so she was a little surprised by Heng Jia's sudden appearance. "Oh, I happened to be walking around here. I have nothing to do, so I just stopped by to take a look." He specially emphasized the word "by the way." Chang Gong rolled his eyes, "Heng Jia, come down too, we can chat in this lake, isn't it elegant?" Heng Jia smiled and nodded, and also got off the boat. Chang Gong hooked the corners of his lips, bent his eyes beautifully, got up and rolled the boat, and because the lake was not big, he quickly got to the middle of the lake. "By the way, Heng Jia, are your seventeen or eight concubines settled?" "Didn't I just come here to ask you? Isn't this important task entrusted to you?" "Hey, what's none of my business!" "It's none of your business, you and I are bullying the emperor together, according to the law, we can sit together." Heng Jia watched with satisfaction as she turned her face away angrily, her slightly squinted eyes exuded a coquettish and charming brilliance in the summer sun. "By the way, I haven't asked you all this time, why...you knew at that time that Uncle Jiu would not be able to leave?" She hesitated again and again, but couldn't help but ask. Heng Jia stared at the lotus leaves in the lake, "Before, I saw King Gao Guiyan of Pingqin secretly visit your ninth uncle. He is originally Yang Min's man. Isn't it strange to have a private relationship with your ninth uncle?" "So you guessed that Gao Guiyan had already voted for Uncle Jiu, and Uncle Jiu had already taken precautions." Chang Gong picked it up. "Not bad." He nodded. "Uncle Jiu has been hiding it from me all this time, so I thought he was really going to leave." Chang Gong suppressed his smile, "You don't even trust me." "It's not so much distrust, I think he doesn't want to involve you in more troubles." Chang Gong was taken aback for a moment, seemed to have pondered for a while, and when he raised his head, he had resumed his usual smile, "Heng Jia, I have something to tell you." "What?" Heng Jia looked at her in surprise. "Heng Jia, in fact, I..." She slowly approached, the fragrance of lotus leaves seemed to float in the air, her smile was like a flower trembling in the morning light, so beautiful and alluring. "Actually—you just want to push me into the water." Heng Jia shook his head helplessly, quickly grabbed the hand she was about to attack him, and grabbed her hand. "Ha...how could it be." Chang Gong laughed dryly twice, secretly cursing in his heart, the vigilance of this fox is really too high. "Gao Changgong, don't forget, you haven't been my opponent since you were five years old." Heng Jia smiled triumphantly. As soon as Chang Gong was reminded by him, he immediately recalled the scene when he was disgraced when he was five years old. He couldn't help snorting heavily, shook off his hand, and turned around angrily, "Go back!" Heng Jia smiled slightly, his black eyes were still deep, like lake water warmed by the midday sun... In fact, just now, he seemed to be absent-minded for a moment... On the shore, Chang Gong ignored him and was about to go back when he suddenly heard Heng Jia say something behind him, "I heard that Turkic has appointed a new prince." Chang Gong's heart moved, he turned around and said, "The position of the Khan needs an heir, and it's not uncommon for a new crown prince to be established." "It's true that a new crown prince is not a strange thing, but don't you think it's strange to have a crippled crown prince?" "The crippled prince?" Chang Gong also became curious. Heng Jia nodded, "I heard that the prince is blind in one eye, but he was brave..." Chang Gong was taken aback, and before he finished speaking, he asked again excitedly, "You said that the prince was blind in one eye? Is this news true? Is it the left eye or the right eye?" Heng Jia looked at her in surprise, "Could it be that you know this person?" Chang Gong sighed, "Do you still remember that bandit Ah Jing?" Heng Jia thought for a while and said, "Didn't I be rescued by you?" "Yes, but I didn't tell anyone. In fact, the person who rescued him afterwards was the Turkic prince Ashina Hong! And it was such a coincidence that he was already blind in one right eye at that time!" Chang Gong said in a row come out. Heng Jia's expression seemed serious, "According to what you said, the new prince might be Ah Jing. Could it be that he is the illegitimate son of Turkic Khan?" Chang Gong shook his head, "I don't know, I only know that if he is really the new prince of Turkic, I might really have made a big mistake." "No matter who he is, in short, he is our enemy." Heng Jia rolled up another meaningless smile. The two of them fell silent suddenly, and an inexplicable aura spread between the two of them, and the wind lingered around, causing the branches and leaves to surge like waves and make a "rustling" sound.The sound of cicadas, which had been quiet for a long time, gradually sounded at some point, breaking the original calm. The lotus leaves in the lake were swaying anxiously with the wind, like the erratic and unpredictable hearts of the people.
Chang Gong went out in a daze, feeling his mind was blank, he just walked aimlessly for a long time, and when he looked up, he realized that he had actually reached the door of Hulu Mansion. She herself was taken aback, how could she come here inexplicably, you know, these days she has been taking a detour, for fear of being questioned by Hu Luguang about Hengjia's seventeen or eighteen concubines.

Chang Gong suppressed his smile, "You don't even trust me." "It's not so much distrust, I think he doesn't want to involve you in more troubles." Chang Gong was taken aback for a moment, seemed to have pondered for a while, and when he raised his head, he had resumed his usual smile, "Heng Jia, I have something to tell you." "What?" Heng Jia looked at her in surprise. "Heng Jia, in fact, I..." She slowly approached, the fragrance of lotus leaves seemed to float in the air, her smile was like a flower trembling in the morning light, so beautiful and alluring. "Actually—you just want to push me into the water." Heng Jia shook his head helplessly, quickly grabbed the hand she was about to attack him, and grabbed her hand. "Ha...how could it be." Chang Gong laughed dryly twice, secretly cursing in his heart, the vigilance of this fox is really too high. "Gao Changgong, don't forget, you haven't been my opponent since you were five years old." Heng Jia smiled triumphantly. As soon as Chang Gong was reminded by him, he immediately recalled the scene when he was disgraced when he was five years old. He couldn't help snorting heavily, shook off his hand, and turned around angrily, "Go back!" Heng Jia smiled slightly, his black eyes were still deep, like lake water warmed by the midday sun... In fact, just now, he seemed to be absent-minded for a moment... On the shore, Chang Gong ignored him and was about to go back when he suddenly heard Heng Jia say something behind him, "I heard that Turkic has appointed a new prince." Chang Gong's heart moved, he turned around and said, "The position of the Khan needs an heir, and it's not uncommon for a new crown prince to be established." "It's true that a new crown prince is not a strange thing, but don't you think it's strange to have a crippled crown prince?" "The crippled prince?" Chang Gong also became curious. Heng Jia nodded, "I heard that the prince is blind in one eye, but he was brave..." Chang Gong was taken aback, and before he finished speaking, he asked again excitedly, "You said that the prince was blind in one eye? Is this news true? Is it the left eye or the right eye?" Heng Jia looked at her in surprise, "Could it be that you know this person?" Chang Gong sighed, "Do you still remember that bandit Ah Jing?" Heng Jia thought for a while and said, "Didn't I be rescued by you?" "Yes, but I didn't tell anyone. In fact, the person who rescued him afterwards was the Turkic prince Ashina Hong! And it was such a coincidence that he was already blind in one right eye at that time!" Chang Gong said in a row come out. Heng Jia's expression seemed serious, "According to what you said, the new prince might be Ah Jing. Could it be that he is the illegitimate son of Turkic Khan?" Chang Gong shook his head, "I don't know, I only know that if he is really the new prince of Turkic, I might really have made a big mistake." "No matter who he is, in short, he is our enemy." Heng Jia rolled up another meaningless smile. The two of them fell silent suddenly, and an inexplicable aura spread between the two of them, and the wind lingered around, causing the branches and leaves to surge like waves and make a "rustling" sound.The sound of cicadas, which had been quiet for a long time, gradually sounded at some point, breaking the original calm. The lotus leaves in the lake were swaying anxiously with the wind, like the erratic and unpredictable hearts of the people.
